Table one is a reference
I need help to find the target inventory, T
Sam's Cat Hotel operates 52 weeks per year, 6 days per week. It purchases kitty litter for $8.00 per bag. The following information is available about these bags:
≻Demand = 55 bags/week
≻Order cost = $70/order
≻Annual holding cost = 22 percent of cost
≻Desired cycle-service level= 99 percent
≻Lead time = 4 week(s) (24 working days)
≻Standard deviation of weekly demand = 4 bags
≻Current on-hand inventory is 250 bags, with no open orders or backorders.
Suppose that Sam's Cat Hotel uses a P system. The average daily demand, d, is 9 bags (55/6), and the standard deviation of daily demand,
Standard Deviation of Weekly DemandDays per Week/square root of Days per Week, is 1.633 bags. Refer to the standard normal table
for z-values.
a. What P (in working days) and T should be used to approximate the cost trade-offs of the EOQ?
The time between orders, P, should be 5252 days. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.)

![Petromax Enterprises uses a continuous review inventory control system for one of its SKUS. The following
information is available on the item. The firm operates 52 weeks in a year. Refer to the standard normal table for
z-values.
> Demand = 91,000 units/year
> Ordering cost = $30.00/order
> Holding cost = $3.00/unit/year
> Average lead time = 9 weeks
> Standard deviation of weekly demand = 120 units
a. What is the economic order quantity?
The economic order quantity (EOQ) is:
2DS
EOQ =
H
where D is the demand in units per year, S is the ordering cost, and H is the inventory holding cost.
2x91,000 x 30.00
The economic order quantity for this item is
= 1,349 units.
3.00
b. If Petromax wants to provide a 98% service level, what should be the safety stock and the reorder point?
First, the formula for calculating safety stock in a continuous review system is:
zagLT, where ogLT =0gV[.
The standard deviation of weekly demand, og, is given as 120 units. The lead time, L, is given as 9 weeks.
Using the standard normal table, for the desired service level of 98%, the z value is 2.06.
Therefore, the safety stock is 2.06 x 120/9 = 742 units.
Next, calculate demand during lead time, dL, by first calculating weekly demand:
Demand
Weekly demand, d, is calculated as: -
91,000
-= 1,750 units.

dL is 1,750 x9 = 15,750 units.
